[mezskr4]

@dweml258 I hope that she does, as it is a very cute song.Thank you for stopping by my friend.

[Ruthlyn]

she has a very advanced voice for a child. she reminds me of a more jazzy Kristen Chenoweth

[umbrellatheclock]

my computer says: Gayla peevey. I wish I wooz a whisker

[mezskr4]

@umbrellatheclock If you are refering to the song title, what is listed above is on my record and sleeve.This title is correct.

[weaselpultgirl]

thank you so much for putting this on youtube! i'm of the wrong generation to have grown up listening to her, but i have always loved her voice from the first time i heard it =D

[thebradybunchlover]

The days of Inosence... miss it... now a days kids are cussing and stuff, and can't even spell! I wish i could just go back...

[Shiroitora55]

@thebradybunchlover .. You spelled "innocence" wrong.

[thebradybunchlover]

@Shiroitora55 yes, im not the BEST speller in the world......but hey! oh well!

[ThePookkii]

@thebradybunchlover No offense, but you were sort of criticizing kids for not knowing how to spell. I think you should at least return the favor by spelling correctly. And, just to let you know, there's spell check on comments.

[luviindream]

[wanshei]

I see where she was so wanted, she has a very unique quality to her voice.

"All i want for Christmas is a Hippopotamusses" is her signature song. What a cute girl, so very pure and innocent from a time long gone by.

[mezskr4]

Your absolutly rignt on all counts.Thank you for shareing your thoughts with us.

[gimpergirl]

[gloveygirl444]

I never knew she did so many other songs till now. I was a little girl when she did.. I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas. I can still see her on tv singing this song. What a real treat for me finding this wonderful clip you were so kind to put on and share with the world.

Didn't she also do "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause"? Was it on tv too, do you know?

Thank you so much for this wonderful posting. :)

[IloveBryanDick]

Oh this is lovely. I have never heard of her before is she well known in the US? and how old is she singing here?

[mezskr4]

The Hippo song was released when she was 10,and this was her second release.I must assume that she was still 10.

[andrewschwartzman98]

ture

[mezskr4]

Yes she was,she had several songs under the name of Gayla Peevey and she did a duet with Jimmy Boyd (Kitty In A Basket/I'm So Glad), which I already have up.She also had several recordings under the name of Jamie Horton with "My Little Marine" being a hit for her.Robot Man was also a very good song by Jamie.

[IloveBryanDick]

They don't make them like that anymore!

So sweet!

[andrewschwartzman98]

[mezskr4]

Yes that was her big Hit (and a favorite of mine),but so many of her other wonderful childrens songs have been overlooked.Her voice leaves you wanting to hear more.Thank you for stopping by...

[luckyjopot]

[mezskr4]

Your right she was for a 10 year old.Thank you for dropping by.

[babyfuzz65]

she dont sound like shes 10

[mezskr4]

She was born in 1943, and at the time of this recording (1953) she was 10.She had a very mature voice for her young age,but your right she didn't sound like she was 10.

[magicmoonlight777]

at the first impression maybe she doesn't sound but if u listen closer she has a child voice and a darn good vibrato also great video

[nat1ber]

this song was recorded in 1953

[agile52]

[mezskr4]

Thank you.Sorry for the late responce.

[aeropostale1023]

[mezskr4]

She is very much alive.Yes she was beautiful.Thank you

[aeropostale1023]

[GerardWayMCR93]

She looks like Emily Osment

[travis7310]

A little but, yes!

[PrincessFiana]

soo cute! awwe i love this song.

[freakyQueen1]

I wonder if she likes animals.

[doubletfarms]

is there any video of her actually singing? or was that to long ago?

[doubletfarms]

I always thought it was Shirley Temple until I heard it was Gayla Peevey on the radio! lol

[MusicLover153]

When she does some parts in "I want a hippopotomus for christmas" it sounds a little like the girl that plays Annie in the old movie "Annie".

[mezskr4]

I remember seeing that movie, and I think your right.Thank you

[Sshelly34213]

I think the only reason it sounds weird is because she uses a lot of vibrato, but that was quite popular back then.

[LaVerne37]

Well she is right on key! Very unique voice...Thanks for a new sound and unknown to me gem!

[mezskr4]

Your welcome.

[josephbrando]

I love Gayla Peevey...but so far I only have 8 songs by her...does anyone know where I could get my hands on more songs by her?? (hint-hint)

[mezskr4]

I still have a few more of her songs to post,so just keep checking back.

[oOWickedRulesOo]

It sounds sorta like a chipmunk version of Judy Garland

[mezskr4]

It never occured to me, but I think your right.She does sound a little like Judy.Thank you.

[obitsrus]

what fun. thanks for posting.

[mezskr4]

My pleasure.

[mezskr4]

Yes she had such a mature voice for a girl of her young age.Hope that you liked it.

[LilMissRandom109]

lol such a weird voice ^^ I always thought it was a guy who sang. She's really good though :D
